What Does a Smile Makeover Entail?
A smile makeover begins with a thorough consultation to assess your dental health and aesthetic goals. This personalised approach may include various treatments tailored to address specific concerns, ultimately aiming to improve the overall harmony and beauty of your smile.
Dental Treatments Included in a Smile Makeover
- Teeth Whitening: This procedure lightens teeth and helps to remove stains and discolouration, resulting in a brighter smile.
- Porcelain Veneers: Thin shells placed over the front surface of teeth to correct imperfections such as chips, cracks, or uneven alignment.
- Composite Bonding: Application of tooth-coloured resin to repair decayed, chipped, or discoloured teeth or to reshape your smile.
- Dental Implants: Replacement of missing teeth with artificial roots and crowns that function and appear like natural teeth.
- Orthodontics (e.g. Invisalign): Straightening misaligned teeth using clear aligners for a more uniform smile.
- Gum Contouring: Reshaping the gum line to improve the balance and symmetry of the smile.
Dental Problems a Smile Makeover Can Solve
- Discoloured or Stained Teeth: Teeth whitening treatments can effectively address discolouration, leading to a brighter smile.
- Chipped, Cracked or Mis-shaped Teeth: Veneers or bonding can repair and conceal these imperfections.
- Misaligned or Crooked Teeth: Orthodontic solutions like Invisalign can correct alignment issues.
- Gaps Between Teeth: Veneers, bonding, or orthodontics can close unwanted spaces.

Why Digital Dentistry Provides the Best Cosmetic Outcomes
At Wayside Dental Practice, we use digital technology to enhance the precision and effectiveness of smile makeovers. With tools such as the MetiSmile Facial Scanner and Digital Smile Design, we can create a virtual model of your face, allowing for meticulous planning and visualisation before commencing treatment. This gives you the chance to see and make sure you are happy with the proposed treatment before we start. It also gives the laboratory more accurate information to use when planning your restoration.
Digital tools enhance the accuracy of cosmetic procedures like implant placement, orthodontics, and smile makeovers leading to more predictable and successful results. By integrating these technologies, we minimise the margin for error and reduce treatment times, providing a more comfortable and efficient experience.
